SWEET HOME OF MY CHILDHOOD, 




HERE'ER I may wander, where'er I may roam, 



-*-i My thoughts still return to my happiest home; 



Ulkene er I grow weary 'tis there I would rest: 
Sweet home of my childhood in memory lissi : 



P.weary of life and of toiling in vain, 
I long for the days of my childhood again, 
Ulhen life- had a charm that forever has Sown, 
Pn innocent pleasure that now is unkncwn. 



"r friendship so faithful, unselSsh, and true 

~; thai u?k:ch r ond memory brings io my view. 
The friendship of childhood, that ever endears 
The playmates and friends of my earliest years 

--- far dearer to me as I roam. 
Is memory's picture of mother at home: 
P,nd when 1 am weary I long but to rest, 
Ince more as a child, folded close to her breast 

What hand like a mother's can soothe or caress 1 
Ulhat lips like a mother's to kiss and to bless! 
Then let the remembrance of childhood's sweet home 
Be with me forever, though far I may roam,
